VLC 2.0.3 on Lubuntu 12.04: No audio?

http://askubuntu.com –
I am on Lubuntu 12.04, and I have installed VLC media player version 2.0.3. When I try and play an audio file, it appears to load fine, and the media position bar displays the progress, and it says it is playing, but I can't here any thing through my speakers. I can hear game audio, web audio, and audio from SMPlayer just fine, but with VLC, I can't here anything. Below is the "Messages" output with the verbosity option set to "2 (debug)"
main debug: processing request item: The Bottom, node: Playlist, skip: 0
main debug: resyncing on The Bottom
main debug: The Bottom is at 0
main debug: star
